Manchester United have made a brilliant start to the summer transfer window. After being linked with him for years, the club managed to agree a deal with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of Jadon Sancho.

They have also managed to sign Tom Heaton on a free transfer. And the 35-year-old could end up serving as the number two in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side if either Dean Henderson or David de Gea left the club this summer.

This efficiency from the Red Devils must be commended. It leaves them a lot of time to get other deals over the line this summer. And there are a number of other positions that the club might be looking to strengthen in over the coming months. One of them appears to be central midfield and Eduardo Camavinga has been heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford recently.

The 18-year-old appears to be the club’s priority in midfield as well. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano wrote in his column with Sportskeeda:

"Eduardo Camavinga, on the other hand, is Manchester United’s priority for midfield. The negotiation is ready to start with Rennes. Camavinga’s contract expires in June 2022 and he has no intention of renewing the agreement."

Would Camavinga be a good signing for Manchester United this summer?

Camavinga is one of the most highly-rated young talents in world football today. At 18 years of age, he has already been a regular feature in Rennes’ first-team for a couple of seasons now. Thus, it is not hard to see why there is so much interest in his signature.

With just one more year left on his current deal with Rennes, he could possibly be set to depart the French club this summer. And if that was the case, a number of clubs around Europe might be interested in signing him.

If Manchester United were able to sign him, would he come in and immediately make an impact in Solskjaer’s first-team? That does seem unlikely. Despite his incredible talent and potential, it is expected that he would take some time to adjust to English football. But when you think about the long-term, he could prove to be a sensational signing.
